He said he'd like to return to the state treasurer post when he returns, possibly in March 2006.
"This was an extremely difficult decision for me," Coffman said in a news release. "I had to choose between whether to continue serving Colorado as the State Treasurer or serving the nation by returning to the Marine Corps and going to Iraq."
Coffman will go to Iraq as a major in the Marines. He will be in civil affairs, helping Iraqi public officials move forward with their government.
"I know my skills and training are needed in Iraq," Coffman said. "I can make a positive difference and help bring democracy and stability to the people of Iraq."
